Chapter 13: Buying a Spirit Boat

After more than a quarter of an hour, a bustling town came into view.

The gates were open on both sides, and there were no monks on duty.

Chen Ping had been to Baiye Town several times before, and at the moment, he used his spiritual power to avoid the mortal area and directly entered the inner city.

"Lingzhou Tianbao Pavilion, hehe, what a big breath."

Staring at the carved beams and paintings in front of him, the magnificent attic plaque, Chen Ping pursed his lips contemptuously.

Tianbao Pavilion is the Xue family's largest shop, and it is also the only place on White Leaf Island that is allowed to sell spirit boats.

"Senior, you need to buy something."

As soon as he entered the attic, a childish Taoist boy greeted him and said cautiously.

Chen Ping's expression was indifferent, and two words popped out of his mouth: "Lingzhou." ”

"Okay, senior, please follow me into the inner hall."

Dao Tong smiled and said excitedly.

Even the lowest-level spirit boat can easily break a thousand.

If this order is successfully concluded, he will be rewarded with three or five spirit stones.

Chen Ping was expressionless, and followed Xiao Daotong into the inner hall.

As soon as he entered it, Chen Ping was slightly stunned, and his eyes couldn't help but pass through a touch of surprise.

The hall is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people without feeling crowded.

Boats of different styles are placed in delicate counters made of jade.

There was also a group of beautiful female attendants, who were explaining to several monks who looked like guests.

"Huh!"

Looking around, in a corner to the east, Chen Ping saw two acquaintances.

One of the burly men was Chen Xintong, whom he met when he landed on the island.

Another fat-headed, big-eared, brocade-clad monk nodded and bent over to accompany him.

While laughing, the fat on his face trembled, and it seemed that he would fall to the ground in the next moment.

This fat monk Chen Ping also knew.

His surname is Xue Mingwen, and he is the most qualified one of Xue Yun's more than a dozen uncles.

Therefore, he was extremely favored by Xue Zhengkong, the ancestor of the Xue family, and even the most profitable Tianbao Pavilion was handed over to him.

"Well, my uncle specially instructed that the real thing must be seen before the end of the next year!"

Chen Xintong said as he walked.

Hearing him mention Chen Xingchao, the fat monk straightened his chest and said with a serious face: "Brother Chen, it's okay to put a hundred hearts, I, Xue Wen, will never let the Third Elder down!" ”

"Well, that's the best! I'll go back to the boat first. ”

There are more and more guests in the inner hall, and Chen Xintong is not willing to stay longer.

Xue Wen rolled his eyes and said in an almost flattering tone: "It's still very early before the departure time, why don't you go to the backyard for a meal and drink some spirit wine before leaving?" ”

"The people below sent a few ten-pound red-eyed bone fish over a few days ago, but I haven't been willing to eat it, little brother, so I'm waiting for Brother Chen to come!"

"Oh? It just so happened that I was also greedy, so I would bother Brother Xue. ”

Chen Xintong smiled and nodded, his gaze paused for a moment on a delicate maid.

Xue Wen suddenly understood, squinted at the maid, who immediately gave Chen Xintong a blessing, and ran out shyly with broken steps.

"Haha, Brother Xue, see you later!"

Chen Xintong stroked his palms and laughed, chasing after the delicate maid.

"Third Elder Chen Xingchao? What deal did he make with Tianbao Pavilion and must ask the Xue family to deliver it before the end of the second year? ”

Chen Ping relied on the strength of his divine sense, and unscrupulously eavesdropped on the conversation between the two, until Chen Xintong left, and then withdrew his divine sense.

After Chen Xintong left, the little Taoist boy who led Chen Ping to come quickly approached, and whispered a few words in Xue Wen's ear.

After a short while, Xue Wen waved his hand and motioned for Dao Tong to step back.

He had a big belly, and Erya said gently: "I don't know the name of my friend, where does it come from?" ”

"The surname is Lu Mingyu, and he is a casual cultivator."

Chen Ping replied indifferently, but he used the name of his previous life.

"In Xia Xuewen, it's the owner here."

Xue Wen said earnestly: "Lu Daoyou intends to buy a spirit boat? ”

Chen Ping was not polite with him, and said simply: "Yes, a small spirit boat that can carry seven or eight people can be carried." ”

"Lu Daoyou is right, my small spirit boat on Baiye Island is famous far and wide."

There was a hint of smugness in Xue Wen's words, and he walked over to a counter and slapped it on the lid a few times.

Then the huge counter disassembled and closed, and an off-white spirit boat about three zhang long and two zhang high was completely presented in front of him.

"This spirit boat, as a whole, is made of a hundred-year-old white-leaved tree trunk, embedded with a first-level swimming formation, and only needs to be stuffed with ten lower-grade spirit stones each time, and it can sail for eight hundred miles."

Xue Wen introduced in detail.

Chen Ping touched the hull of the ship and asked, "Shopkeeper Xue, how long will it take to recover after this swimming array runs once?" ”

There are two key factors that distinguish the merits of a spirit boat.

One is the main material, which is simple and clear, and there is no need to say more.

Second, the core of the formation that promotes the spirit boat to sail against the water.

Generally speaking, the core of the formation can be activated with spirit stones.

The more high-level the formation core, the more spirit stones are used.

Correspondingly, the recovery speed of the formation will also be greatly increased.

For example, the third- and fourth-level water resistance formations inlaid on medium and large warships, as long as the spirit stones are sufficient, the core of the formation can always remain active, and it can travel in the sea without interruption.

"It will take at least three days for the swimming array to return to normal!"

Xue Wen stretched out three fingers and said, "If Lu Daoyou feels that the waiting time is too long, you can take a look at the other spirit boats." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to another counter, a slightly larger spirit boat as a whole, and said, "This spirit boat can continuously resist water for thousands of miles, and the formation core can be reactivated within two days." Of course, each time you need to embed fifteen lower-grade spirit stones. ”

"I wonder if this ship is solid?"

Chen Ping's heart moved, and he said in a deep voice.

Navigating the sea is not insignificant.

In case it hits a reef or a monster attack and the spirit boat falls apart, it really wants to cry without tears.

Xue Wen listened, summoned a giant axe, and slashed at the spirit boat.

"呲呲"

The shadow of the axe swung down heavily, but there was no trace of damage left on the hull of the boat.

"The white-leaved tree is extremely hard, let alone a hundred years old. This giant axe of mine is a high-grade magic weapon, and it is extremely sharp, so you can rest assured that you can test the Taoist? ”

Xue Wen patted his big belly and said leisurely: "The small spirit boat can probably resist the full attack of ordinary supreme magic weapons or first-order late-stage demon beasts three times.

"If you are still not satisfied, then consider the medium-sized spirit boat! As for the price, it is naturally several times more expensive. ”

Scraping his chin, Chen Ping shook his head and said, "That's it, how many spirit stones?" ”

He went to the Mengjia Sea and could reach Yunquan Island as far as possible.

There are about 300 miles of sea route left, and the small spirit boat is enough to sail a round trip.

"Hehe, Lu Daoyou is a refreshing person."

Xue Wen smiled and said, "Sixteen hundred spirit stones, don't bargain with fellow Daoists." Attached below is a map of the sea area, which contains detailed information about the nearby 3,000 miles of sea. ”

"This sea map was drawn by my Xue family after decades and the lives of many clansmen, and it is absolutely impossible to buy it on the market."

"Really?"

With a raised eyebrow, Chen Ping showed a hint of agreement, and said, "Shopkeeper Xue's family has a big business, why don't you send Lu a few more to purify the road talisman?" ”

"Haha, no problem!"

Xue Wen waved his hand magnificently, but he sneered with disdain in his heart.

He also thought that Chen Ping would put forward any additional conditions.

Just a few first-level talismans, just give him it!

After ordering 1,600 spirit stones for Xue Wen, Chen Ping then put the spirit boat into the storage bag.

"Tsk, 100 square storage bags. This guy is not small, he should have lied before, and it is not common for such a generous casual cultivation to be carried out. ”

Xue Wen remained silent, secretly guessing Chen Ping's origin.

"Lu Daoyou, this is the sea map and the ten Purification Path Talismans, please put them away."

Xue Wen's storage bag is hidden in his sleeve.

He rummaged through it for a while, and finally threw a piece of jade slip and a pile of light blue talismans to Chen Ping.

This is the first-level talisman, to the purification path talisman.

After being stimulated, it can condense a large amount of earth-attribute spiritual power in a moment, dispel the seawater and generate a road under your feet, and walk on the ground within three miles.

Of course, it is only used in shallow seas near land.

The real inland sea is tens of thousands of miles deep, not to mention the first-level runes, even the fifth-level and sixth-level runes are impossible to fill.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Xue."

Chen Ping replied with his hand in return.

These ten Purified Road Talismans are worth a hundred spirit stones, and it seems that this Xue Wen is not a person who must be compared.

As for the sea area map that he exaggerated, Chen Ping didn't pay attention to it, and casually threw it into a corner of the storage bag.

How can the strength of the Chen family be comparable to that of the Xue family!

The sea area map that his Xue family can make, how could Chen Ping not have it in his hands!

"Lu Daoyou walk slowly, if the spirit boat is damaged in the future, it can be brought back to Tianbao Pavilion for repair."

Before leaving, Xue Wen did not forget to mention it enthusiastically.

Chen Ping didn't respond, he turned back, and disappeared in a few moments.

Gently stroking the jade wrench worn between his thumb and belly, Xue Wen was silent for a long time, and a piece of yin poison suddenly appeared on his face.

……

It is a luxuriously decorated room.

Xue Wen was feasting on Chen Xintong, and the boxy pear blossom wooden table was full of delicacies.

Among the more than a dozen dishes of all kinds, the pot of red-eyed bone fish on a delicate porcelain plate in the center of the table is the most conspicuous.

Once the dish is served, the room is filled with an intoxicating aroma.

I saw that the fish in the pot was jade-colored, but the eyes of the fish were blood-red, like a pair of pure fire jade.

The red-eyed bone fish itself is a first-order demon beast.

The meat is tight and smooth, has an excellent taste, and is rich in spiritual power, so it is very popular with monks.

"Brother Chen, the essence of this fish is in this pair of red eyes, although the taste is bitter, but it is a natural tonic!"

Xue Wen rolled up his sleeves and said flatteringly.

Chen Xintong picked up the fish eyes and put them in his mouth, and said intoxicatedly: "Brother Xue, you are comfortable, you have good wine and meat every day, and a group of beautiful ladies serve you." It's like Chen, who has to escort the boat, and the wind and rain are blowing. ”

Xue Wen smiled "hehe" and said flatteringly: "Little brother, I just eat and wait for death, and Brother Chen has a great future, maybe the next time we meet, Brother Chen is already a master of foundation building!" Don't forget to take care of your little brother when the time comes! ”

Chen Xintong took a sip of spiritual wine, put down his chopsticks comfortably, and smiled without saying a word.

Since their uncle Chen Xingchao was promoted to the middle stage of foundation building, their voice in the family has increased dramatically, and they have a faint tendency to surpass the great elder Chen Xiangwen.

And his uncle has no children under his knees, so he Chen Xintong picked up a big bargain and is one of the most direct beneficiaries.

At present, my uncle is approaching the bottleneck in the later stage of foundation building.

As long as you break through successfully, you will immediately be able to go hand in hand with the Great Elder.

At that time, there will be no more variables in the much-anticipated Tsukidan!

When Chen Tong is older, he can't covet the position of the next patriarch.

Chen Xintong was thinking like this, his heart became more and more surging, and the smile in the corner of his eyes almost turned into substance.
